< 1 Chronicles 10 >

1 The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
Nʼoge a ndị Filistia lụsoro ndị Izrel agha, ndị Izrel si nʼihu ha gbaa ọsọ, ma ọtụtụ nʼime ha nwụrụ nʼugwu Gilboa.
2 The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Ndị Filistia ji ike chụso Sọl na ụmụ ya. Ha gburu ụmụ ya ndị ikom, Jonatan, Abinadab na Malkishua.
3 The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
Agha ahụ siri ike nke ukwuu megide Sọl, mgbe ndị na-agba ụta chụkwutere ya ha merụrụ ya ahụ.
4 Saul told his armor bearer, “Take out your sword and kill me before these heathen come and torment me.” But his armor bearer refused—he was too afraid to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
Sọl gwara onye na-ebu ngwa agha ya, sị, “Mịpụta mma agha gị, were ya magbuo m ka ndị a a na-ebighị ugwu ghara ịbịa jiri m mee ihe egwuregwu.” Ma onye na-ebu ngwa agha ya ekweghị, nʼihi ọnọdụ oke egwu. Nʼihi ya, Sọl were mma agha nke ya, dakwasị nʼelu ya.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
Mgbe onye na-ebu ihe agha Sọl hụrụ na ọ nwụọla, ya onwe ya dakwasịkwara nʼelu mma agha nke ya, nwụọkwa.
6 So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
Ya mere, Sọl na ụmụ ya ndị ikom atọ nwụrụ, ndị niile si nʼụlọ ya nwụkwara nʼotu mgbe ahụ.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that their army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and they also ran away. The Philistines came and occupied them.
Mgbe ndị Izrel niile nọ na ndagwurugwu hụrụ na ndị agha agbaala ọsọ, na Sọl na ụmụ ya ndị ikom anwụọla, ha hapụrụ obodo ha niile gbapụ ọsọ. Ndị Filistia bịakwara bichie nʼime ha.
8 The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
Nʼechi ya, mgbe ndị Filistia bịara iyipụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ihe ha ga-achịkọrọ, ha hụrụ ozu Sọl na nke ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha tọgbọ nʼugwu Gilboa.
9 They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor. Then they sent the news throughout the land of Philistia, to their idols and their people.
Ha yipụrụ ya ihe niile oyi, buru isi ya na ihe agha ya, zipụkwa ndị ozi gara nʼala ndị Filistia niile ikwusa akụkọ ihe mere nye ndị ha niile na arụsị ha niile.
10 They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
Ha tinyere ihe agha ya nʼụlọ chi ha, kwụbakwa okpokoro isi ya nʼụlọ Dagọn.
11 However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
Mgbe ndị Jebesh Gilead niile nụrụ ihe ndị Filistia mere Sọl,
12 all their fighting men went and recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back and buried them under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for seven days.
ndị ikom ha niile bụ ndị dimkpa, biliri gaa buru ozu Sọl na ụmụ ya, bulata ha na Jebesh. Ha liri ọkpụkpụ ha nʼokpuru osisi ukwu dị na Jebesh, buo ọnụ ụbọchị asaa.
13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He did not keep the Lord's commands, and he also went to consult a medium.
Sọl nwụrụ nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ya nye Onyenwe anyị, o debeghị okwu Onyenwe anyị, karịsịa, ọ gara na nke onye na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, nʼihi ịjụta ya ase,
14 He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
ma ọ jụghị ase site nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ nke a mere Onyenwe anyị ji gbuo ya, were alaeze ya nyefee Devid nwa Jesi nʼaka.
